I'm in again! I might miss the first 4 days as I'll be in Hawaii, but maybe I can escape the family, rent a bike and squeeze in a ride :)

So here in San Diego, NerdProm (otherwise known as San Diego Comic-Con) is upon us, which means no rides for me until maybe Sunday night depending on how exhausted I am from the weekend's events. I will for sure be putting in some serious KMs for the finale on Monday though :)

Soooo... I broke my 2nd toe on my right foot earlier this week :open_mouth: I'm hoping with enough padding it won't hurt too much being stuffed into my cycle shoes tomorrow :smiley: BRING ON THE TOUR!

If there's any more spaces left, I'm in. Training for November begins in earnest :)

I am the (literal) worst :( I finally posted an update for the log and it's a thing of immense sadness. Work, illness, and house emergencies have kept me off the bike the *entire* Giro so far - I even missed the Tour of California going practically right by my house! ARGH. Bike To Work Day is Friday. I should at least be…

Thanks! So excited for the tours I'm gonna ride to breakfast tomorrow :D

Whoa this snuck up on me! I would like to join if there is still room...

Hi Jason, thanks for the 'honorable mention'! I just wanted you to know I didn't drop out because of any issues with you, the group, or logging - I just got really busy in both work and personal life and didn't have the time to ride :-/ Things seem to be settling down now so hope to be back on the bike soon - especially…

I come back to the group after a long break and am greeted by this *AWESOME* thread :D Thanks for the laughs everyone!

I'm in. I definitely need something to kick me in the butt and get going again :)

I had a couple more to post from my last ride, but I don't think anything is going to beat Jillyian's sunset paceline :)

Holy cow, glad he's ok! Get well and get out of that hospital Mark! ... and this is what happens when I post before reading the whole thread! All kidding aside, reading of your ordeal brought some very painful memories back - my husband went through a lot of what you had to do after being admitted with Deep Vein Thrombosis…

Soooo last night's ride was way shorter than I expected! Made more so by my phone/bike computer deciding to go on the fritz right as I stopped for a pint at the brewery near my house :) So, short ride but followed by a pint = win :)

This is how I ride in the dark :)

Out of town on Sunday and sick the past two days. Also flats on both bikes. Excuses excuses! Feeling better so will fix those flats and get some riding in tomorrow. La Vuelta Challenge Entries for Rider 338 Team Lotto Jumbos Stage Date Distance Time Ascent(m) Ride Log URL h:mm:ss…

Thanks again for including me in this Challenge, Mark and fellow Jumbos teammates :smile: After the past 2 months I've had, it will be good to get on the bike and get my mind off things. A quick question for the (still relatively) n00b me - what do the positions in the team mean? Allen was concerned about being in "the GC…

I'm in if there's a spot left - after the past few months with the spouse in the hospital, and then losing him last month, I need something to get me back out on the bike to try and regain some sanity and perspective.

Again, my apologies to Team Lotta Jumbos... but I'm honestly not sure how many rides I'm going to get in during Le Tour. My husband has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now for his heart condition, and there were hopes of him being able to go home on meds until a donor heart is available, but they can't keep him stable so…
